Experts in HTML and CSS
A recent trend from some of our customers has been a move away from vulnerable platforms such as WordPress or Drupal, and back to the security and simplicity of static HTML websites.
We've maintained expertise in the core languages HTML and CSS, which has given us an advantage in making small and efficient websites. Modern practices result in sites that are easy to maintain, very fast to load, and adjust their layout via "responsive design" for the myriad of screen sizes in use today.
Some of the static HTML sites we have created or converted:
- EV Logistics: www.evlogistics.com
- Grossman & Stanley: www.grossmanstanley.com
- Stephen G. Price: stephengprice.com
- Cedar Ridge Tree Care: www.cedarridgetreecare.com
PowerSite® Web Development
For customers that require the ability to update their own content easily and/or support complex web applications, Stargate Connections also offers our exclusive PowerSite® Web Development platform. We use the same HTML and CSS techniques but incorporate our customizable back-end framework for easy maintenance. It's an experience our customers find superior to WordPress and it's much safer as well.
* Notes about Basic Web Design
We can provide basic web design services, but ideally prefer working with third-party designers who are better with the subjective nature of the process. We are most adept at the technical side of the process — taking established designs and mock-ups that are provided to us and turning them into functional, efficient web sites that are easy to update.
